MPG Question
Those of you with a 4x4 5.4 3.73, how fast are you going on the highway, or what RPMs are you turning to get to the 16, 17, or 18 MPG on the highway?
I can't seem to break low 15ish MPG, at about 2k RPMs, or around 72-75 MPH.

Lightly loaded with no headwind, on the flat starting will full tank of gas I usually get: 65 mph equal 17 mpg, 70 mph equals 16 mpg. 75 to 80 mph equals 15 mpg. 85 mph equals 14 mpg.
I'll let you know what happens after getting back next week on my trip starting tomorrow. Leaving Dallas-Fort Worth area heading for Sedona, AZ. Winter weather most of the way will keep speeds down, so good mileage should not be a problem.
